How to report harassment

@Murdamore-thrall

I’m leaving since I’m noob

no, you’re learning stuff!

learning is good

[Sendryn-sentinels]

@Darkscarlet-bonechewer

I have done all that and nothing happened

There isn’t anything else that can be done. If you’ve written down names, dates, conversations, screenshots, etc. and sent them to the second link I provided for chat harassment, that’s all there is that can be done. You need specifics. You need to report and ignore by right click when he chat spams. There isn’t anything anyone here can do for you. The report system is all we have.

Stop flagging, stop going to Goldshire for a while, right click report chat spam, screenshot, get details of names and use the website ongoing harassment link.

If they don’t put them on ignore, blizzard can’t do anything.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

Right click reporting does ignore them.

You’ll want to read this thread:

Spotlight on: Harassment

While adventuring through Azeroth and surrounding lands you will encounter a myriad of other players. They could be out questing, exploring a dungeon, trying to smash the opposition in a Battleground, defeating a raid boss, or simply hanging out in town. The certainty about an online game is that you will likely be engaging with these other players to one degree or another. Some communication will be helpful, adding to your experience in a positive way. Other contacts may not be so rewarding. W…

U can still be killed in gs if ur flagged

[Jalanili-moon-guard]

Hokay. You guys need to help yourselves before Blizzard will step in:

• Step 1: Unflag. Stop flagging. Then no one can kill you.
• Step 2: When he says something to either of you, right click the chat and select ignore
• Step 3: If anything in the message breaks the TOS, right-click and select report
• Step 4: If he hops on another account or has a friend hop on and send you new messages, rinse and repeat. But now you don’t need to wait for the chat to break the TOS, now you can report him or his friends for anything they say because they’re circumventing an ignore
• Step 5: Never, ever, ever…EVER…say anything back to him. Blizzard will consider that to be a conversation, and that means that he’s not harassing anyone
• Step 6: If it keeps happening, open a ticket for ongoing harassment https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/8159

But Blizzard won’t do anything to help you unless you do steps 1-5 first. Every time.

Ignore is account wide

[Sendryn-sentinels]

Again. Stop flagging yourself. And please read the thread I posted above.

This is a pretty solid troll thread. GG

Quoting this for emphasis:

What would really make it great is if they jumped on another character and posted as the ex bf who found them on the forums

[Nobully-blackrock (Nobully)]

@Sendryn-sentinels

for that session.

it’s not a proper ignore.

@Darkscarlet-bonechewer

then when you open your ticket, be sure to mention that you have their characters on ignore, and they circumvent the ignore by creating new characters.

@Darkscarlet-bonechewer

he has himself phased over to are realm and kills us

Dealing with former friends is tough. However, PvP is not against the rules or considered harassment. Even if someone corpse camps you. Blizzard will not assist with PvP related issues.

@Darkscarlet-bonechewer

starts talking crap to us even if we are leaving him alone.

Step one is to put the person on IGNORE. If you do not do that, it is considered mutual discussion. Putting him on Ignore with your character will ignore all chars on his license. If he uses another account to circumvent the Ignore, then document it and use the Ongoing Harassment report option from the Support website. Sendryn linked the articles for it.

Each person who he contacts with chat needs to also put him on Ignore. Each will have to report any chat that violates the rules. You can’t report for them.

This post is excellent

I’d hit the tracking button for that.

[Sendryn-sentinels]

@Nobully-blackrock

for that session.

Then they would have to do ignore first and then report, since trying to do /ignore name-realm doesn’t work after the messages are removed from chat and gives you the “character can’t be found” message.

[Nobully-blackrock (Nobully)]

if the player has gone out of their way to create a new character to get around the ignore feature, just put them on ignore.

then open a ticket about ONGOING harassment.

using the report function won’t accomplish much with an ongoing situation.

[Vicktoria-area-52 (Vicktoria)]

Turn off the pvp if he is killing you

[Sendryn-sentinels]

@Nobully-blackrock

using the report function won’t accomplish much

It’s still recommended by the blues to report chat spam, as well. It’s more reports listed and points easily to the timestamps they need to see. Especially when attempting to go around the ignore function.

And if you would read, I literally said after that to use the second link I posted, which is the ongoing harassment.

I honestly don’t know why you’re arguing with me. I’m done with you.
